In the latest episode of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando is joined by former host of the show Matt Schubert to discuss:

  • An abrupt and embarrassing end to Denver’s once-ambitious 2025-26 season
  • Who’s to blame for the first-round loss to the Timberwolves? Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray underperformed, but David Adelman and Christian Braun seem to be taking more heat from fans
  • Can the Nuggets trust Aaron Gordon’s health going forward, or is it time for a major roster shake-up beyond just Cam Johnson?
  • Denver’s offseason trades might seem motivated by a resounding basketball failure, but finances are just as important a consideration to the Kroenke family
  • Bennett’s idea for a new way to structure the lineup around Nikola Jokic
